Prospectuses, Specimens and National Works: Byron and John Hookham Frere
No full textThis article analyses Byron’s stylistic conversion of 1817 by examining the transformative impact of John Hookham Frere’s Prospectus and Specimen of an Intended National Work, by William and Robert Whistlecraft, which Byron acknowledged as his ‘immediate model’ for Beppo. Previous studies of this textual relationship have centred on ottava rima and emphasised the underlying influence of Italian burlesque poetry. I highlight other aspects of Frere’s poem, showing how its title page parodies publishers’ marketing devices and how it mixes mock-epic romance with wide-ranging satire of the British book trade. Frere’s narratorial persona ‘Whistlecraft’, a chatty, self-mocking author who reflects playfully on the act of writing and the practicalities of publishing and printing, is part of the satire. Using similar techniques and motifs, Byron takes Frere’s satiric method to a new level of imaginative accomplishment, creating a comic poetry that is both national and international in scope, first in his ‘Venetian story’ Beppo and later in Don Juan

[Manuscript] "The Arbor Day Cross" / Joaquin Miller.
No full textA typewritten verse has been fastened to a flyer by Miller detailing the history of Arbor Day in California; below the description and accompanying image, he has penned the lines which appear transcribed on the card in his own hand.Miller relates the history of planting the Arbor Day Cross on Yerba Buena Island and then on the hills over Oakland, accomplished at the hands of schoolchildren through the collaboration of Governor Howard and the Division of Forestry. Below this explanation, Miller has written out a verse, "There is no ugly thing on earth;/ There is no evil anywhere--/ There is no thing that hath not worth/ If man but seeks to see it there." Born Cincinnatus Hiner Miller in Indiana, Joaquin changed his name to add to the poetic mystique he cultivated to his advantage when he toured in Europe, billing himself the "Byron of the Rockies." Miller acquired 70 acres near Oakland, California on which he planted extensive trees; this property was later sold to the city and constitutes the heart of a park named in his honor
Regenerative sustainability and geodesign in Byron Shire
No full textByron Shire, NSW, Australia, aims to transition to zero emissions within ten years in five sectors - energy, buildings, transport, land use and waste. This study investigates the potential of Geodesign to effectively map the shire during this transition. A contextual study of the shire\u27s residential pockets is initiated using open source Geographic Information System (GIS) data and a typical case study site selected based on demographic information. CO2 equivalents from current electricity usage and offsets from renewable energy systems are added to the database and visualized in ArcGIS software. Site specific benchmarks are derived as the first step of developing a Regenerative Sustainability Design (RSD) strategy using Geodesign tools. The tenets of RS require each building to use systems that enhance overall ecosystem health by achieving positive outcomes for energy, waste, water, biodiversity, etc. ArcGIS is a system for designing built and natural environments in an integrated process. It enables evaluation of RSD alternatives against their impacts, collaborative decision making and community engagement (via apps, online surveys). Vector data can be directly quantified, multiple parameters accounted for and the onground situation presented to stakeholders in a legible and easy to understand format. Complex datasets can be quickly accessed and visualized in order to identify opportunities for positive contributions to the community. This work shows the value of Geodesign for community planning processes to drive positive change. ArcGIS can assist in holistic assessments to identify the most effective retrofit opportunities, monitor the transition to zero emissions over time and inform policy
